Colonoscopy tomorrow. For those who don’t know, this will involve a lucky individual (emhmmm..) putting a very small camera up into my colon and making sure nothing funny is going on. My task yesterday, today, and tomorrow is to ensure an unobstructed view, ergo the following:
Food Eaten Today (1/30)
Breakfast
~20 oz coffee
~1.5 cups lime jello
Lunch
~6 oz coffee
tons of water
Which makes for about 100 calories thus far today. For dinner #1 and dinner #2 I have some veggie broth and tea to look forward to. More jello for dessert. 250 calories for the day, max, then NOTHING tomorrow morning. I’m taking the day off work, and sleeping in as much as possible before packing off to the doc at 1000. Im not exactly thrilled with the whole arrangement, but it’s remarkable how not hungry I’ve felt all day. We even had lasagna, garlic bread, and cherry cake (!) for lunch at work today.
It does leave a few unanswered questions:
-Will my hunger and thus ornery-ness get worse this evening? Or, how glad will M be that she has to work this evening?
-Should I try to go for a bit of a run or ride this afternoon, inspired by the wonderful sun, occasional snow, and lusty wind? It recalls MC’s deprivation training of recent note. Or, once I start the laxatives (1500), will I be able to get that far from the toilet for that long?
The blog’s been good in the last year for making light of medical problems (far less serious than car problems), so you my loyal readers can thank me for this perhaps unwanted piece of information.
Lastly, a reminder of several kinds of illness, past and upcoming:
